Enacts the care workforce housing preference act

Summary

The bill gives people who work in direct‑care, nursing, behavioral health and related fields a priority when applying for affordable housing in specific tax‑credit and HUD‑funded developments. The preference is applied through lottery weighting for up to 20 % of units during the first 60 days of each marketing cycle, and developers can earn extra points in the allocation scoring system for offering it. The goal is to help retain and recruit essential care workers by easing their housing affordability challenges.
